    I don’t have the source on hand but ClA has admitted that they have a “deep hand” in the crypto msrkets

      Is that an admission of the cryptography market or the cryptocoin market?
      These two are not the same.

      I’m not saying I know for sure that the CIA doesn’t have a deep hand in it,
      but I do want some clear answers in terms of feasibility before I believe it.

        The interview conversation topic at hand was about cryptocurrencies. I read the article on a cryptocurrency website

          Link?
          I just web-searched around and found that the CIA is working on anti-ransomware projects.
          Other than that, one site was speculating about Bitcoin being a CIA project, since it uses a cryptography method designed by the NSA and then we delve back into the cryptography issue again.
          There has been cryptography algorithms that had deliberate weaknesses so the CIA could look into them, but those have been exposed and it’s generally not a good idea anymore since they get found out rather quickly these days.

          Other than that, I did some digging into the Satoshi Nakamoto character and it’s pretty clear that there’s only person that could have made it and he’s clearly not a CIA asset from what I’ve found out about him. He clearly had a good reason to keep his identity as hidden as possible and I just hope he is still doing okay with the current political landscape that we have right now.
